Individual Counseling

Student life can become difficult, and sometimes, overwhelming. Academic stress, financial stress, and social stressors can make it difficult for students to perform optimally. In addition, other stressors such as trauma, illness, bereavement, and instances of discrimination can further complicate matters.

Individual Counseling can help students manage these stressors, decrease severity of negative mental health symptoms, and help students maintain sound functioning in their academic and social lives.

Individual Counseling takes place in a safe, confidential environment where counselors and clients create a trusting relationship. Individual Counseling may be short-term and problem focused, with a counselor offering specific behavioral changes, assisting with problem solving, or directing clients to important on-campus resources. Other times, individual counseling may address long-standing mental health problems, issues of long-term personal growth, or explore ways that past experiences impact present functioning. The length and type of individual counseling depends on the nature of a client's concerns and the client's goals for counseling.
